At the very least she needs a 'tail-ectomy' and she could do with a new hair stylist, her mop reminds me of Farscape's Jool (SFW) but in blue. And those ears!
Most of the males here evolved to appreciate HUMAN females and that's how we likes em', thanks all the same.
The fact that we still don't have a long term solution for the waste is a concerning one. Yucca mountain was our best hope, and its dead.
You're so dead certain of this I had to look it up - and goodness me, what a shock it was to read that in the United States of America, nuclear physics works very differently from the way it does in the rest of the world.
Oh, wait - from the second paragraph on that page, emphasis mine:
In the United States, the Obama administration stepped back from President Bush's plans for commercial-scale reprocessing and reverted to a program focused on reprocessing-related scientific research.[6] Nuclear fuel reprocessing is performed routinely in Europe, Russia and Japan.
The idea that Yucca mountain was ever considered a 'solution', much less a long-term solution just beggars belief.
I can't say I'm surprised to see this drivel from an AC; there'd be few here stupid enough to associate their/. account name with the mindless parroting of cooked-up "facts" from the media and wild-eyed shrieking ferals like Greenpeace.
Guess what? We'll all suffer a personal environmental catastrophe if we stick spent fuel rods up our arses! For sure! However, I don't think we're planning to do that, are we?
This bullshit idea of storing spent fuel rods is bloody stupid but just because the States is doing it now doesn't mean even they will still be doing it even a hundred years hence. Other nations have allowed common-sense to trump ridiculous ideology and they don't have this problem.
Stop pretending "nuclear waste" is a species-level issue. It's a simple policy decision.
or are they trying to distract the media from the CIA torture story that came out about the same time? If it's the latter, it did a good job -- the media and public seem to have the attention span of a two-year-old.
That's a very interesting point. Once this hacking thing is fully played out I can't see the media focus returning to the CIA torture matter with any sort of gusto.
Might just be really convenient timing of course but it certainly seems unlikely that the torture story will pick up the level of public outrage it really deserves following the Sony job. We'll need something new to come to light for that.
Since everyone assumed that is why we went in, we might as well have done it. As it stands, I don't think we took a single barrel, unless you know otherwise.
Wasn't it more about showing the Middle-East what the global bully will do to an oil-exporting nation if it should dare to step off the US petrodollar roundabout?
Physically stealing the oil wouldn't have been nearly so profitable as simply enforcing the status quo.
let them hire whatever mercenaries (excuse me... "private military contractors") they want, then invade. It would cost Sony probably one or two years' profits
Uh.. that sounds like you're suggesting Sony makes a trillion dollars or so profit every year.
So was the Nazi government in Germany, but we didn't let that stop us.
You are an idiot.
No, he isn't.
His was a damn good post, yours was a simple ad-hom with no indication of what you disagree about with his comment. If this is how you play 'Slashdot' then I'm afraid you LOSE.
I'm not really interested in fan-made anything, for the usual reasons. This team's version of Pilgrim of Eternity is however nothing less than remarkable and deserving of much credit.
Let's just stop pretending the resulting product is glamorous.
Exactly. Both Android and Apple phone and tablet products are produced in sweatshops no Slashdotter would like to work in themselves, myself included.
Apple and Android manufacturers can pay as much lip-service to worker rights as they want. Until they actually employ staff in Western countries they're just talking spin. They know damn well nobody could afford a current smartphone or tablet if Human labour exploitation in 3rd-world conditions wasn't a reality.
even russian's - subhuman as they are - know that nigger's are shit and are willing to stand up for some body that calls it as it is.
Well, 'shit' or not, I'm sure most "russian's" and "nigger's" have a considerably better handle on apostrophe use than yourself, you son of a greengrocer you.

Felicia disagrees with you.
This female is a furry.

Re-read his post, he was agreeing with you. You've got some issues of your own if you find people agreeing with you offensive.
So anyway, you said you knew who the retard was. I think some of us might already have an inkling.
Well said. A succinct point and a much tidier response I should have thought to use in the first place!

We need these to store it. For 100.000 years.

Who really cares how heavy a fixed reactor core is?
I thought it was less about the weight per se and more a function of the sheer volume of Uranium that would be needed for even one bomb?
By way of comparison, British Tallboy and Grand Slam bombs were multi-ton beasts themselves, if I'm not mistaken.
Mods, what the hell is wrong with you? Why should someone be modded down for simply indicating they don't understand something?
Nice job of perpetuating the immaturity and hostility of the classroom.. as an adult. Thanks for your contribution.
So, no love for 'could have,' then?
If you're going to be a grammar Nazi...
At least democrats claim to be for the little guy.
That's a relief because as we all know, a politicians' claim is as good as their word.

Off-topic? For a joke?
I think someone needs to lighten up some.
Looks like spottswoode is some faggy yourowpeeing.
Clearly. Especially so when compared to the average North American who is of course manly, buff and (like, totally) heroic.

if my GF was still alive, he'd be furious for the things he and his peers fought for
Uh.. umm.. Oh. *head-desk*
Note to self: GF can also stand in for grandfather.
Thanks Talderas, your post inspired me to re-visit the series and I managed to dig out the DVDs last night. Good times! :)
Ad hominen FTW, right?
Does that make you an "equal opportunity discriminator"? I like it!
I do find Xenophobia to be its own reward. ;-)
Don't tell me that was Scorpie he was talking to!
Hmm, perhaps Aeryn ended up in Crichton's head too at one time or another. It has been too long!
That's certainly true, however at first blush that post does seem to proffer a little more than 'three words for you'.
Three words for you: Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis or Problem, Reaction, Solution.
Hmm. I was pretty sure my maths was sketchy - but now I have actual proof!
even russian's - subhuman as they are - know that nigger's are shit and are willing to stand up for some body that calls it as it is.
Well, 'shit' or not, I'm sure most "russian's" and "nigger's" have a considerably better handle on apostrophe use than yourself, you son of a greengrocer you.
